By Assaf Gabor, 16th of Tishrei 5783 (11/10/2022) "Lion's Den" - this is the name that terrorist operatives in Nablus leading the current wave of terrorism call themselves. Dozens of videos documenting their activities are distributed on social networks: they are masked, wear black uniforms and tie red fabric ribbons to the barrels of their guns, as a sort of "promise" that they will not fire bullets in vain. Most of them are young people in their twenties, who did not participate in the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000 and are not familiar with the IDF's response in 2002. The killing...

U.S. food and beverage companies are racing to keep operations running during a nationwide shortage of carbon dioxide. Companies including Tyson Foods and Kraft Heinz Co. have been searching for carbon dioxide as supply disruptions this summer exacerbated existing shortages, threatening production of goods from cold cuts to beer.

In the aftermath of the George Floyd killing, protests erupted across dozens of cities in California with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets, and despite the raging coronavirus pandemic they were cheered on loudly by the state's liberal elite with some of the most prominent Hollywood actors taking daily turns to voice their support for the protesters while condemning anyone who did not side with the BLM movement, even when so frequently it devolved into violent rioting and looting of innocent bystanders.

Teen Activist Who Rallied to Defund Police and Remove Police from Schools Is Shot Dead in Chicago The young activist spoke out against police.
